Though based in the States, the allure of Sydney, Nicole's homeland where her immediate family resides, often beckons.

Nicole and Keith's romance began in 2005, culminating in a beautiful wedding in 2006. Their bond, strong and unyielding, is an embodiment of genuine love. 

Speaking on their relationship in December 2021, after being dubbed by Today's Richard Wilkins as Hollywood's "pin-up couple for making it work", Nicole articulated: "We don't want to be a pin-up couple. We just want to be a couple that has a great life together." 

Stressing the uniqueness of every relationship, she added, "We are just very protective of our little bubble. What works for us is what works for us."
